VEHICLE AND PEDESTRIAN SAFETY (DRIVER EDUCATION)
|
|
The Londonderry School District contracts with privately owned and operated Driver Education Schools for this service. This driver education course is designed to prepare young people for entry into the traffic system as an operator of automobiles. Courses are offered six times a year during the fall, winter, spring and summer. Included in the automobile driver education program are thirty (30) hours of classroom instruction and eight (8) hours of driving. Students must be 15 ½ years of age or older prior to enrollment in the course and must be physically and mentally capable of operating a motor vehicle. On site licensing is available if the student is 16, successfully completes all course requirements, and has approval of instructor. Students are reminded that this course requires a full-time commitment. If students feel that they will not be able to attend all the classes and driving times due to work, family vacations, etc., it would be unwise to sign up for this course. Students will be dropped from the driver education program if they miss two sessions or more than one scheduled driving lesson. A fee is charged for this program. Open to Grade 9 only with approval of the instructor.

LIBRARY MEDIA SERVICES
|
|
The Library Media Center seeks to ensure that all students and staff are effective users of ideas and information. The library media program, its facilities, resources and instruction play an integral role in supporting and implementing the curriculum at Londonderry High School. Library Media Specialists work in partnership with classroom teachers to teach information skills in conjunction with content area assignments. The library collection includes books, videos, periodicals and an extensive print and electronic reference collection. A “virtual library” can be accessed via the Library Media Center Web Site (http://schools.londonderry.org/lhs/lmc) and provides information from a wide range of online subscription services not freely available on the Internet.

RESPONSE TO INTERVENTION (RTI TEAM)
|
|
The purpose of the RTI team is to problem solve and design activities to eliminate the difference between “what is” and “what should be” with respect to student development. The RTI team involves a collaborative effort to identify the student’s current level of performance, desired level of performance and variables that are preventing the student from attaining that desired level. Using various strategies, the RTI team seeks to maximize the use of available resources prior to a Special Education, 504 referral, or Advisory Period. RTI requires collaboration and team building among the administration, teachers, School Counselors, specialists and parents to ensure a successful implementation of the RTI model.

SECTION 504 (Rehabilitation Act of 1973)
|
|
To become eligible for services and protection against discrimination on the basis of disability under Section 504, a student must be determined, as a result of an evaluation, to have a “physical or mental impairment” that “substantially limits one or more major life activities”. Questions regarding 504 plans at LHS, please contact the LHS Building 504 Coordinator. Lancer Lab is available for 1/4 credit for all eligible 504 students.

SPECIAL EDUCATION SERVICES
|
| The Special Education Department offers a wide variety of services designed to meet the needs of individual students. Students can be referred for special education through teacher, parent request or RTI Team recommendation; however, students must meet established criteria in order to be eligible for special education services. If the criteria are met, an Individualized Education Program (IEP) will be developed by a placement team (parent and school representatives), which specifies services to be delivered by the school and responsibilities to be accepted by students and parents. Please see the Special Education course offerings.

CO-CURRICULAR ACTIVITIES/ELIGIBILITY

| Athletics, along with clubs, organizations and other activities, comprise the co-curricular program. All students are encouraged to participate and should be willing to devote the time and effort necessary to contribute to the growth and success of the activity. ALL STUDENTS MUST PASS 5 CLASSES DURING THE PREVIOUS MARKING TERM IN ORDER TO PARTICIPATE IN ANY CLUB, ACTIVITY OR SPORT. To be eligible for school activities, a student must be in good standing. To participate in a school activity on a non-school day, a student must be present on the last school day prior to the activity. Students dismissed from school on the day of an activity or on the last school day prior to a non-school day activity, must return to school prior to the close of the school day or must receive permission of an Assistant Principal in order to be eligible for participation in the school activity. This regulation applies to all school activities, including athletics, dances, performances, etc. Students who violate the Student Use/Abuse Policy on school district property or at a school event will be ineligible for co-curricular activities for 180 school days.
